Family Entertainment

A great family day out

On Saturday and Sunday, under 18s can visit for FREE (up to 4 kids per paying adult) with children aged 5 and under FREE every day.

Activities for pre-schoolers will be scheduled on Thursday and Friday, and activities for children of all ages on Saturday and Sunday. So, bring the whole family along - it is a perfect opportunity to educate children about gardening, food and wildlife.

Free children's activities run by Little Folks Day Nursery on Picnic Hill:

Face Painting

Texture Rubbing

Vegetable Painting

Bird Feeders

Creating Father's Day cards

Plus a NEW large sandpit sponsored by Bathgate using their extra safe and clean play sand.

Welcome back everyone – what a lovely summer! However, I think we can kiss goodbye to any chance of an Indian summer and replace it with soggy September. Our recent weather makes me consider how we need to work with our changeable climate - be it surprisingly hot Aprils or shockingly wet Septembers. We can do many things to adapt and so, if you’re gardening in the rain this month, read on!
